+1 on that. Using screen is really handy when in single user mode. It |
| 16 |
also comes in handy when doing updates in a Konsole and you need to log |
| 17 |
out of KDE. Just exit the screen session, log out, log back in and |
| 18 |
reattach the screen session. Nothing lost, it never even stops the |
| 19 |
compile. This is really handy if OOo is in progress. |

You really need to check out screen Peter. I'd be glad to help with the |
| 22 |
basics of it. I mostly now how to start a new session, detach, reattach |
| 23 |
and such. Nothing fancy but enough to use it. |
